Known error and fixed by PR Default the value of upload.slow to avoid build error by mikljohansson · Pull Request #39 · sipeed/platform-kendryte210 · GitHub, needs to be merged by Sipeed people.

Try modifying the platformio.ini to say

upload.slow = no

instead of having no value, then do a rebuild.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. I added that to my platformio.ini

[env:sipeed-maixduino]
platform = kendryte210
framework = arduino
board = sipeed-maixduino
monitor_speed = 115200
upload_port = COM6
upload.slow = no

But it’s saying that the option is an unknown config option
Warning! Ignore unknown configuration option upload.slow in section [env:sipeed-maixduino]
Processing sipeed-maixduino (platform: kendryte210; framework: arduino; board: sipeed-maixduino)

And the error is the same
Building in release mode
KeyError: “Invalid board option ‘upload.slow’”:

The error is the same with no entry for upload.slow, and when I set it to =no.

I noticed I also have some warnings in VS Code, maybe I have the wrong kendryte sdk version ? These folders are in git at the tip, but my local doesnt have them

“C:/Users/marcu/.platformio/packages/framework-maixduino/cores/arduino/kendryte-standalone-sdk/lib/nncase”,
“C:/Users/marcu/.platformio/packages/framework-maixduino/cores/arduino/kendryte-standalone-sdk/lib/nncase/include”,

My bad, it must be board_upload.slow = no. Also try deleting the line entirely.
